Woman "rider", obligatory comment on subject: So glad I don't put up with this crap at the track anymore. Heck I haven't even attended the last few and I've never been less stressed. I can honestly say that in going on 11 years riding that only two handfuls of families and 3 promoters have ever...

Racer chasers... I like to use a more descriptive term. Girl racer of 10 years and nothing made me more nauseated that these people. I hate them. I'm glad they pointed out a difference that helps me not feel so uneasy at the moment. At least I know stuff about bikes, even if I'm not riding...

Sunday was one of those days I really wish I could have been out there, track looked super rough! Hope to see everyone back for October 13. Amherst really puts on a nice show, great for the family. Points and results are completely updated, for those chasing the year end award don't forget...

Definately right on, I'll go ahead and say its watercolor from the dirt, looks like he used a lifting technique of sorts in spots. I like how its mostly blurred, does he plan on leaving it that way? I never know what to do with my backgrounds. Here is my most recent painting...

That guy's looks like acrylic or tempura, maybe even heavy water color. I use acrylic, but would love to try oil with this, it's too expensive for me. I tried this gel stuff and it gave an impasto effect, gave dirt better definition. My last one was less than half the size Mitchy's will be...

I just finished a dirtbike painting for a friend on Friday, think that's the 3rd or 4th this year. Have a drawing lined up and another painting for after. Need to decide on the material for that one yet, and wait til I have full motion in my shoulder and no head pains from my crash Sunday.

Good day at Amherst meadowlarks!

That old start was my favorite thing about that track next to the pro uphill or whatever y'all called it. That said I'm most likely not riding next week anyway. If I felt like buying another membership I'd go to oir since I haven't been there in 2 years.

Turned out wonderful for second set IMO

I hear the track is looking incredible. Can't wait to see this!

Great opening day!

This. Make the changes, you started with the intentions of making something completely new. Don't be afraid of completely turning things upside down!

Brilliant idea: rename A, B, and C to Advanced, Intermediate, and Beginner. Who wants to be champion of the Beginner Class?!?! Or, then better yet, absolutely forbid any kind of points or series award for the beginner class (trophies are always nice for new riders). Gives sandbaggers no real...

^^That's sick. Mom got me a GoPro, Dad got me an art studio desk, boyfriend got me my own pair of roll-off goggles and a stearing stabilizer already installed on bike. Among other stuff. I gave Eric my toolbox, another goggle case (still needs another too), and this:
